Movie #121 - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Title: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Director: Andrew Adamson

Release Year: 2005

Plot Summary: Four children travel through a wardrobe to the land of Narnia...

Thoughts: Great film. This is probably the most faithful adaptation of a book I've ever seen - it's not word- and scene-perfect by any means, but it still manages to feel like it is, which is quite an impressive feat. Beautifully filmed and scored, great cast all around.

Rating (0-10): 9.3

Recommendations: I'd say this is the movie to see with your family this holiday season. But then, I've not seen King Kong yet.
